jackthewelshman Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) It depends on your situation, and on where you live. Realistically as you are a female, you should be able to get a much better quote of at least below £1500 I'd say. Give us more a little more info - how much are you paying currently will give a huge hint, then we can give you an estimate of what we think is about right (although we are not insurers, you need to contact them).TipsRemember try a couple of comparison sites out (ie GoCompare / Confused are two good ones I've used, many others out there), then try a few other insurers that aren't included on those types of sites (Adrian Flux / Direct Line and many others available) - you should be able to get a very decent and fair quote then, as it will likely be the cheapest around after you have done that. And all that can be done in under and hour if you're quick!@treblet - I feel your pain @p900rty - awesome price there, that is really really cheap! When mine comes up for renewal I'll give them a call. Edited September 10, 2010 by jackthewelshman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J0NNY F1NG3RS Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Like people are saying, ring around and see. I found that Adrian Flux are very competitive and they have a sister company which i find to be better: Flux Direct.Im quite lucky in that im 26. Fully comp on my 1.4 16v loop is.........ready for this..........£360 I can feel the hate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackthewelshman Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 thanks guys i'll give it a try!im currently payin 1350 on my 1.0lWell you are going up 3 groups for an Arosa Sport, or going up 4 groups for a Lupo Sport. If you are paying £1350 on what you've got, and it was a good quote for your situation, then I reckon you are looking at about £1750 - £1850 as a good quote. However as a female, the price you are paying currently sounds quite high, I would have thought you could get a much better deal than that (unless you are unemployed, a student or have an undesirable occuption for the insurer, and in a bad postcode area). Did you shop around for it?Good luck - get searching! And phone up your current insurer to see how much a change would cost if you haven't already.

scotty_82 Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Oo oo oo oo its the customary time for everyone to say what car they have, what age , how many no claims , what insurance company they are with how much they are paying.Its like christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treblet Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 I've decided I'm not entering into any more insurance related questions at all.I'm sick of the top trumps insurance attitude, it doesn't matter if you paid one price for your car, the next person will get a completely different price so stop going on about it!!

I was named on parents insurance on my polo 6N2 16v at 17, fully comp for £355 a year, nobody can beat that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
